At its annual membership meeting, the Renewable Fuels Association re-elected Chuck Woodside, CEO of KAAPA Ethanol in Minden, Nebraska, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of RFA. Re-elected officers include: Vice Chairman Neill McKinstray; Treasurer Randall Doyal; Secretary Walter Wendland; and President Bob Dinneen.

Woodside says – America cannot afford to backslide on its investments in domestic ethanol production. Whether it’s the nearly 14-billion gallons of ethanol production from grain today or the countless billions of gallons from a wide range of feedstocks in the future, a strong domestic ethanol industry will provide this country with unparalleled economic, environmental and energy security benefits for generations to come.

Woodside continues, – America’s ethanol producers are answering the call by creating jobs, reducing oil imports, and cleaning our environment while others continuously tell us we can’t.
